As a human cannot really howl like a wolf or chirp like a bird, if there were aliens, it would be unlikely that a human could speak the alien language, as the organ for speech or communication would be different, as a bird's beak is to a human mouth. There are science fiction shows that depict different alien humanoid races from different worlds, and they could interbreed, because maybe these shows assume that there was a common ancient humanoid colonization that resulted in different evolutions on different worlds. Possibly then, in such a scenario, different humanoids could speak one another's language.
